TIPS FOR SAFELY HANDLING INJURED WILDLIFE<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/h2><\/div>

\n\t\t\t

TENGA EN CUENTA<\/strong> of environmental hazards (traffic, blind curves, uneven ground, live wires, etc.) when approaching an injured wil animal. If it is unsafe, do not proceed. Your safety must come first.<\/p>\n

AC\u00c9RQUESE LENTAMENTE Y CON PRECAUCI\u00d3N. <\/strong>Animals do not understand that you are trying to help and will attempt to escape or defend themselves. Take your time and watch the animal’s behavior closely.<\/p>\n

MINIMIZAR EL CONTACTO F\u00cdSICO DIRECTO\u00a0<\/strong>with the animal. Use gloves if you have them. If the animal is on the ground, toss a jacket or blanket over it and use this to bundle it into a transport box. This will immobilize the animal, remove visual stressors, and help protect you from being scratched or bitten.<\/p>\n

LEAVE LARGE ANIMALS TO THE PROFFESIONALS.\u00a0<\/strong>Please do not risk your safety by trying to handle adult raccoons, herons, or eagles. These are powerful animals that can cause serious injury without proper training and protective gear. Call your local rehabilitation center for assistance!<\/p>\n

Capturar y transportar animales heridos no es un proceso que deba tomarse a la ligera. Si no est\u00e1 seguro de su capacidad para contener a un animal de manera segura, siempre es mejor llamar primero a un centro de rehabilitaci\u00f3n.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dicho esto, a veces puedes encontrar un animal herido y ser el \u00fanico disponible para ayudar, especialmente en un lugar remoto o de noche. Para estas ocasiones, puede ser \u00fatil tener algunos suministros b\u00e1sicos en su autom\u00f3vil, que incluyen:<\/span><\/p>\n
